Wyoming Homeland Security Funds Cut

Cheyenne, Wy – Governor Freudenthal says he expectsWyoming to continue getting less homeland security funding. But he isn't sure how much less funding can be expected. The federal government is working on a risk-based system ofallocating homeland security funds. That's after lawmakers fromlarge states, like New York, complained that more sparselypopulated states like Wyoming received more funding per person. Wyoming has already received 37 percent less federal homelandsecurity funding this year than last year.
